Words can't describe Barbara & Luis....and Jade!! Family! We have gained family! They have captured our engagement, our sons college graduation and our wedding and each time they ...
have approached it like it was one of their own. They are creative and see things we can't see in photography. They take such care in what they do and they are fun! Our wedding sneak peaks which is all we have seen so far because it was days ago were magnificent! If their photos don't hit a magazine soon I will be shocked! They add to the day in so many ways and never did I feel I was posing for pictures for several hours. Some of the most memorable moments of our day were capturing some of the pictures Barbara & Luis created. They capture moments others wouldn't think of. We are clients and family for life. Highly recommend. 10 stars!
Barbara and Luis are nothing but exceptional. From the moment we contacted them to understand the services, the experience was professional, thorough, and thoughtful. They brought ...
out the best of both of us in our engagement and wedding portraits. Their attention to detail, above and beyond scouting of locations for the best pictures and light, and their energy and enthusiasm made our engagement shoot and wedding day absolutely perfect. We could not recommend Get Ready Photo more - they are the best and their work brings smiles to our faces every time we look at our albums.

ession in the fall, and I felt like the price for an additional hour was super fair and we got a ton of amazing photos (and with our 80lb dog which is not an easy ask)!

We truly believe they are magic! And when we got our photos, we couldn't be happier. They were beautiful and we will treasure them forever. We sincerely couldn't have asked for a better photographer team.

well in advance, took our desires into consideration and used their expertise to help us make the best decisions. They scouted the area in advance and had a great plan for our photos.

I’m a firm believer in the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and the images captured by Get Ready Photography embodied this adage. On 2/11/22 I was blessed to marry th...
e love of my life, Dominique Tate, and it was an amazing ceremony. From the inception of our engagement shoot leading up to our wedding day they helped ease our emotions surrounding pulling everything together with the assurance the photography would be superb. My wife and I had no doubts that it would exceed our expectations based on the level of details and questions asked during our initial consultation. The conversations were effortless, they listened intently to our vision, they were very time efficient and genuinely cared about our satisfaction. We could tell that Luis and Barbara were passionate about their craft and very knowledgeable as well. Anyone can take a photo, but it takes an artist with a heart to capture a moment. Thanks for capturing our special day and ever detail. We love you both and look forward to working together in the future.

The meet-ups before the wedding were fantastic and answered all of our queries, helped keep us in a good mood, and assured us greater that they would be the ideal couple to do the task.

Also, we are grateful that they traveled so far from their home to stay with us. We were the happiest couple ever, and my family and friends loved how they captured our memorable wedding day. I will always be thankful that they could accomplish this. I am sure you enjoyed the evening as well.

Get Ready Photo was a wondering choice for us on our wedding day! Barbara and Luis make such a great team and we were so happy to work with them. They did an engagement photo shoot...
and our wedding and did not disappoint. They are so friendly and super easy to work with. They followed our preferences what kind of photos we would like to have and made sure they turned out just how we wanted. They made us feel so comfortable and didn’t make us do anything we weren’t comfortable doing. They helped us come out of our shell a little bit as my husband and I have never before gotten professional photos done, so this was our first experience getting professional pictures done. If you saw our pictures, you probably wouldn’t guess that we’ve never gotten professional pictures done. We looked so natural and that was all with the help of Barbara and Luis. As Barbara was taking my getting ready pictures in my dress, she would be so encouraging repeating over and over that the pictures were just beautiful. She gave me a peak at a photo and it gave me the biggest boost of confidence on my big day. They handpicked each photo and edited them to a T and each one turned out so stunning. In the end, they send out such a cute personalized box and a hand written letter. I could just feel all the love and care that was used to put that together when I opened the package. Get Ready Photo is an amazing business and I 100/10 recommend!
Do not be hesitant in selecting Get Ready as your wedding photographer! They have given the best service from beginning to end; all of our guests were impressed by how great they w...
ere. They were both keen to take the pictures you desire while also providing excellent suggestions on what to do within the space. We strongly recommend the pre-wedding shoot as well! The incredible images Luis and Barbara captured are full of wonderful memories that will last an eternity. We're so glad we picked them to document our wedding day.
Both Luis and Barbara are gorgeous individuals. When they came to capture the wedding, we felt so delighted to have a time with them. They put everyone at ease and were so discreet...
that people did not know how many pictures were taken and great gorgeous they looked. A guest had commented on how wonderful they were, too. The follow-up they sent was amazing because we had not anticipated seeing the amazing set of photos this soon. I conducted some research before the wedding, and people on wedding blogs mention that photographers are essential because the images you are left with triggers memories. I would recommend these two photographers for their outstanding work.
At the first conversation, Luis & Barbara 'got our vision and what kind of photos we wanted for our wedding. I wanted to keep it simple since it was our first-time taking pictures ...
of ourselves as a couple. We loved our engagement session, oh gosh the result was axing I never expect to see myself and John like that, we looked so cute I don't know how they did it. After the engagement, we planned our wedding and the timeline with them I loved that, it was very helpful.
When our wedding venue was canceled, Luis & Barbara went over and above the norm for wedding photographers. They contacted our wedding with six locations they thought we would appreciate; based on our conversations, we eventually booked one of them and loved the experience. Luis & Barbara were professional, courteous, and fun. They made our guests at ease, and we adore all of the photographs, which is evident that we did not make any changes to or remove photographs from our online or physical albums. They're not just Luis & Barbara incredibly good in their work and are also great individuals - basically, all you'd want when it comes to wedding photographers!
It is hard to describe so many things in a few lines, I knew these guys were good, but the result of our pictures is beyond that, we love every single picture taken. I thought it w...
as going to be hard because John doesn't like pictures at all, but Luis made it easier for us. We felt comfortable at all times, we had a lot of fun and I can't stop seeing my photos again and again. When you book your wedding photographer, you are hoping to capture stunning images of your wedding day, and you will get that and lots more with Luis & Barbara! Their photography style is beautiful, and they manage to capture every little moment of the day. They don't skip a beat, resulting in stunning photography that captures the entire emotion beautifully. With Luis & Barbara, we received a lot of emotional and logical support in our planning and during the actual event, the day itself. They are amazing talents, but they are also truly remarkable people who assisted us in various aspects. We were able to consider them guests at the wedding! They've given us unforgettable memories, and we're so thankful to them both. Thank you.
I proposed to Jess last year. Since we were a bit scare of the Pandemic situation, however we started the planning right away. I felt a bit overwhelmed because I didn't know that t...
here were many things to consider for a wedding celebration. We got the Venue, DJ, and then the photography part was considerably hard for me to understand, but we found Get Ready Photo. Since our first call I knew I wanted to work with them. Finally, someone explained to me what is behind this photography thing. We were convinced instantly that we wanted to work with Luis and Barbara. They should be on the top of your list of guest hosts! They are great photographers while making people feel comfortable! We knew we needed to get Luis and Barbara to take pictures of our wedding day after attending a wedding for a family and falling admiration of their style. They're more than just wedding photographers. They were there for any wedding-related guidance and offered us lots of small tips for the day. We are in love with all our photographs and cannot stop admiring our wedding album that flawlessly captures the essence of our day. We're trying to find an excuse to watch them again in action! It was fun the fact of learning some wedding words in Spanish and we always laugh during the Getting ready Session. I personally shared a few drinks with Luis who kindly reminded me that he was working LOL. Get Ready is the way to go.
They are amazing! They put all they had into ensuring that we got all the photos we would have wanted from our wedding day. From dawn to the end of the night, they were in the air,...
taking pictures from every angle. We had a great time every time we saw them, such as their first meet-up, our pre-wedding photo shoot, and, most importantly, the day of the wedding.
They're such a wonderful couple that made our day special and took pictures that will stay for the rest of our lives. They will not disappoint should you decide to hire their services for your next event they were great to work with and extremely reliable. We cannot thank you enough and look forward to seeing you again soon.
